• Before care: 6:00am–9:00am (3 hrs)
• After school care: 3:00pm–6:00pm (3 hrs)
• Total supervision: ~6 hours per day
• Food included:
• Breakfast at arrival
• Snacks to take to school
• Lunch after school
That’s a premium level of service compared to standard before/after programs (most only do light snack).
Because we’re:
• Opening very early (6am is rare 👀 — that’s valuable for working parents)
• Providing multiple meals
• Running 6 total care hours per day
We’re positioned in the upper tier.
🔥 Strategic Tip (Important)
In BC, many families receive:
• Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative (CCFRI)
• Affordable Child Care Benefit
If you opt into fee reduction:
• We set our base rate (example: $700)
• Government reduces what parents pay
• You still receive funding
That makes our higher-end program more attractive.
🗂 Summary of What You Can Apply For
Benefit / Support Apply? Helps With Before/After School Costs?
Affordable Child Care Benefit (BC) Yes ✔️ Direct child care cost subsidy
Child Care Expense Deduction (Tax) Yes (annual taxes) ✔️ Reduces taxable income
Canada Child Benefit (Federal) Yes ✔️ General family support
BC Family Benefit Yes ✔️ General family support
Fee reductions ($10-a-day etc.) No (automatic) ✔️ Lowers fees at provider
✅ Strong, Competitive Monthly Price:
$550 – $750 per child per month
If you include:
• PD days built into the monthly fee
• Occasional full-day coverage
• High-quality meals
We could push toward $700–$800/month and still be reasonable.
📊 Why This Makes Sense Financially
Rough food estimate per child:
• Breakfast + snacks + lunch ≈ $5–8 per day
• 20 school days ≈ $100–160/month in food costs
So if we charge:
• $650/month
• Minus food (~$130 avg)
• You’re left with ~$520 for staffing, utilities, profit.
This means a lot, truly 🤝
What we’re building isn’t just a business — it’s structure for kids, peace of mind for parents, and stability for families who are grinding every day. Opening at 6am alone will help single parents and shift workers more than we probably realize.
We’re thinking long-term, responsible, and community-focused. That’s how strong programs are built.
